I wateched the ‘catch up’ vidto run throw of all of the Halloween films. Never paid this series much mnd even when the first one debuted on HBO.
I was surprised that they’ve done retrocontinuity and alternate paths and reboots already to the franchise. This latest entry continues the multiverse approach.
As for me, I prefer Phantasm.

“Boooooooooy!”
Ooooh Phantasm. “BOY!”. I love the Halloween series, but yeah. It basically needs to be watched in clusters. 1, 2, H20 and Resurrection are basically a series. 4, 5 and 6 are a trilogy that kind of picks up from 2 but not really. 3 is of course unrelated (but actually pretty good). Then there’s Rob’s. It’s always the problem with there being no guiding voice. Halloween is a property, when whichever company owns it this week decides to make a movie they hire people and make it. There’s been no Phantasm without Coscarelli, they actually kind of make sense.

I saw that when it came out, in a PACKED midnight showing. We didn’t have all the gadgets and hyper-stimulation to dull us out back then, so people were SCREAMING when that flying orb drilled a hole in that guys head! It really was like a thrill ride.
